This document outlines the activities and developments from the newly formed hardware group at the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering of the Czech Technical University (FNSPE-CTU). It highlights the involvement of PhD students in critical projects such as radiation hardness evaluation, IC design, image processing, and chip testing. Additionally, the work being done includes sensor development and universal FPGA-based read-out systems, alongside collaborations in the ATLAS and AIDA initiatives. This collective effort is aimed at enhancing future detector technologies.
